Proverbs 20:28
King James VersionSource notes
“Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy.”
Context
25a snare to the man devoureth holy, and after vows to make enquiry.
26A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them.
27The spirit of man the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.
28Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy.
29The glory of young men their strength: and the beauty of old men the grey head.
30The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so stripes the inward parts of the belly.
